Monday - Rest day..still sore from the weekend half-marathonTuesday - 12 miles with 6 x 1 miles at HMP (7:08 min/mile) with 1 minute jog rest. Felt good for the 1st 4 repeats, the last 2 were a little bit of a slog..maybe because of the fatigue from the half-marathon.Wednesday - 6 miles easy paceThursday - 6 miles with 6 x 1K at CV pace (6:40 min/mile) with 400m jog rest. Felt really good..all under control.Friday - 11 miles easy paceSaturday - Long run of 18 miles...1st 6 miles @ 8:30 min/mile..next 6 miles @ 8:15 min/mile..last 6 miles @ 7:40 min/mile (GMP)..Felt great for the long run; could have gone on at GMP for another 2 miles or so, but didn't want to strain myself too much.Sunday - 12 miles easy pace.

Weekly total of 65 miles. My highest mileage week in the last 4 weeks. Have been averaging about 55 miles a week for the last 4 weeks.

Life intervened this week, with wife needing to travel internationally.Did a lot of strength training because I was unable to leave the house due to baby-sitting responsibilities. I had a 1 hour window to run on Tuesday and Friday as the daughter went for 1 hour classes.

Next week, I am hopeful of getting my mileage back up to about 45 miles by running during lunch at office (Monday to Friday). Will hopefully be able to resume normal training starting the week of April 7th.

Don't know how much of an overall negative impact this week and the next week will have on the upcoming marathon.
